His career saw him move from Leipzig to Berlin, and eventually to Munich and Seeshaupt on Lake Starnberg. Throughout his life, Walther participated in numerous exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale and the Berlin Secession.

Artistic Themes and Techniques
Walther’s body of work is characterized by a diverse range of subjects, including portraits, still lifes, cityscapes, and landscapes. He was an exponent of plein air painting, often capturing the changing moods of nature through the play of light and color. His landscapes frequently featured forests, villages, and the changing seasons, from the fresh foliage of spring to the snowy landscapes of winter. In his cityscapes, he documented urban environments, including the destroyed city of Munich and various views of Würzburg and Berlin.
